Based on that it sounds like we may be more banged up at OL than we had hoped. Nice to hear that hes progressing well as a player but he's a true Freshman I believe.
Franklin on OL Vega Ioane. "We'd like to try to redshirt him but we may not be able to".
- Thread starter PSUWrestlingFanSince2011
- Start date
He is one incredibly athletic OL.
Kid is a beast. Frankly the only reason he's not starting has to be experience.
I mean based on that pancake block, I'm not sure anymore. Thats exactly what we're missing on the OL.
And large. Listed at 6'4" 336#
Was a long-time commit to Washington...late visit to PSU and became the last addition to the recruiting class
Hopefully Chop, Tengwall and Wallace can play this week PSU will need them to beat The Ohio State.
It is about more than his abilities...with him playing others can be placed in better positions that match their abilities.
Who cares about red shirting any more? If a kid is good enough to start an entire year he will go NFL early for the money.
So you red him this year, he plays next year, starts in 2024......he is gone. Period.
Even keeping a kid for four years is getting to be difficult.

Agreed. If he can play well get him in the field. The days of redshirting players who can play now are over.
Agreed. If they can play and help you win then get them on the field.
Not only do the high end players go to the NFL early but kids also transfer at will. We are preserving redshirts for kids who wont be here in 5 years.
I agree, but Im just not sure if hes playing bc of injuries or just bc hes that good. Either way I agree, play the kid. But having a true freshman OL vs OSU is a little scary.
What’s more than a little scary vs OSU is a Head Coach that is 1-7 against them, and a starting QB that is 0-3 against them. I’ll watch every second on Saturday, but I have no confidence, as in zero, that the above combination will do anything other than lose - just like they did vs UM. Hope I’m wrong.
PENN STATE Forever!!
No excuses, no defense for a Penn State Head Coach that is 3-6 and 1-7 vs our 2 rivals. None. Franklin is failing, period. I sincerely hope he starts proving me wrong starting this Saturday.
That is one. Is he leaving Clemson? Saban is not leaving alabama either.
St. Joe had a losing record vs OSU. Any excuses? That is when you ignored results and pushed the honor bs.
Tengwall didnt practice today. Assuming Norzad and Effner will fill in for him. Does Ioane get any snaps vs OSU?
